I've always wanted to become a better DM like @matthewmercer and @BrennanLM

I've worked with a team to create Wyvern AI. A tool to help Game Masters develop their homebrew world.

Ok, I’ve got a plan but one of us nerds is going to need to run for President.

@elvenmaidinn Would you consider writing a few articles about increasing engagement?

I’d be interested in learning more.

@TadDavisDungeon I would love to see an evolution shelf.

Realism vs Players Ingenuity - D&D was never about realism!

@CreaturesChrons Makes sense for certain activities.

I just don’t try to enforce a fire. It’s usually a trivial mechanic and in many circumstances unnecessary.

I’ve camped IRL many times without a fire.

Get rid of dark vision. Your games will thank you. 🤯

@noahbradley Are you painting my neck of the woods?

@ColbyPoulson At least not in this life

How to get your one-shot plot started?

Start in medias res.

The tavern’s already on fire, the treasure map is stolen, or the ritual is half-complete. Skip the setup—jump into the action!

[Kent (yet another DM) @Kent_DnD]

One-shot magic happens when your NPCs stand out!

Make them quirky, memorable, and just a little mysterious.

The pirate with a heart of gold or a bard hiding a dark secret can get the players invested.

[Kent (yet another DM) @Kent_DnD]

Perfect your one-shot with some of these elements:

1) A time limit (rescue the princess before dawn!),

2) A compelling twist (the princess is a dragon?!),

3) A unique setting (a city floating above molten lava).

[Kent (yet another DM) @Kent_DnD]

Why do your one shot games usually suck?

You over prepare. That’s it!

Players will zig when you want them to zag. Build a flexible framework, know your NPC motivations, and let the table bring the chaos. 🌀
